Sand Land trophy guide: How to unlock all achievements

Sand Land has a wealth of trophies that you can unlock if you plan to acquire the Platinum Epic Journey achievement. It might be confusing to figure out how to get many of the trophies in this title. Fortunately, PlayStation devices let users know how close they are to specific types of achievements.

Players might be curious to know if it takes multiple playthroughs or specific difficulty requirements to get all trophies. Thankfully, Sand Land does not require you to ever play on Hard for any achievement unlock.

Since the title has no New Game+, the game drops you right back into the world after you beat it. This means you can complete everything and all the trophies in one playthrough, even if it takes a while. This article will talk about how you can unlock all the achievements.

Most regular trophies in Sand Land are acquired as you play the game normally. This includes upgrading a vehicle (Vehicle Upgrade), using ally skills in battle (Power of Friendship), and completing a side quest (People Pleaser).

That said, getting some achievements will take a while. For instance, if a trophy involves Mythical-rated parts, getting a wealth of these items will likely take players into the post-game unless they grind through a lot of Junkers and Army groups scattered across the map. The longer the game goes on and the stronger you are, the better parts you’ll receive.

While many of the regular trophies in Sand Land are unlocked by defeating groups of enemies or collecting parts, the majority of secret trophies are built around the main story quest. This title has some challenging optional battles related to some of these hidden achievements as well. While it’s easy enough to defeat gang bosses like the Jokers Boss, the secret trophies will take more work.
